Advancing professionals in the theory and practice of responsible leadership.
Leaders must understand their own values (what is important to them) and their role in other people’s lives (what is important to others), in order to lead with integrity and authenticity. The reflection of one’s own leadership purpose and values are the key for any leader to motivate and inspire others, and to actively shape social responsibility – within and outside their organizations.
For this reason, the Center for Responsible Leadership combines topics of leadership, business ethics, and social responsibility: We innovate, design and deliver leadership and personal growth learning journeys to WHU’s in-class and online MBA Programs and also cater towards professionals in a leadership role in many of our Executive Education programs.
